I like the band at the moment, but I agree with every word he said about Hallelujah. That cover really is the very worst aspect of Bon Jovi and does, frankly cheapen the original.

Good cover of Hallelujah


Bland cover of Hallelujah.


Honestly, people saying they like BJ's version is the kind of thing that makes me question my sanity. The difference in quality between those two performances is clear from the very first note and only gets clearer with every note that follows. It is a ****ing serious song and the man is just way, way out of his depth to even try and take it on.

When KD Lang sings the song, however, it becomes a thing of exquisite beauty.

Though now, I really do feel tempted to arrange a Ska version!
